| [title] Discharging the old capacitors | |
| [* black] Unplug the cables from the monitor and let it sit for ***at least 24-48 hours.*** This is required to drain the power supply and is usually sufficient for LCD monitors ***you are not replacing the filter capacitor on. Failure to follow this step will put you at risk of injury or death!*** | |

| + | [* icon_caution] If you plan on potentially replacing the filter capacitor, plan on making a [guide|2177|capacitor discharge tool]. |
| [* icon_caution] The filter capacitor will hold the most charge out of all of them. Even with a discharge, you should still watch this capacitor as it's known to have charge linger the most. ***If you do not feel comfortable attempting the repair, give the monitor to someone who is or have it done professionally.*** |
